Resumen
A Triassic gypsiferous formation is juxtaposed to the Socovos Fault along its eastern portion. Here, the gypsum shows penetrative cataclastic fabrics, particularly prominent in the main fault zone. The fabrics show a profuse catalog of kinematic markers. The consistence between the kinematic criteria and the sense of the strike-slip faulting suggest than the fabrics have been generated, at least in a late stage, by tectonic strain. We propose that gypsum fabrics could help to analyze the structure in shallow tectonic environments. Testing this hypothesis would be highly useful in the Betics, were gypsum-bearing Triassic rocks crop out in extensive areas.
